Location of Cape Negrais in Burma

It is northernmost point of Andaman Sea where it meets Bay of Bengal. To the south and east of this point lies Andaman Sea, and to the north and west lies the Bay of Bengal.

The European name 'Negrais' is borrowed from the Burmese name 'Nagariz' (နဂရစ်), which in turn came from 'Nagaraj' (Sanskrit: नागराज, lit. 'The dragon king'). It refers to the story of the dragon king 'Jeyasena'(ဇေယျသေန) taking some holy hairs of Buddha and creating a cape Pagoda.
